EWG hazard reflects the rating of the ingredient, not the real-world risk of a finished product — hazard depends on concentration. How we read these.
2–5% (up to 10%)
Most research uses 2–5%; some formulas go to 10%. Very high levels can cause flushing in sensitive skin.
A general research norm — not the amount in any specific product (INCI lists don't disclose amounts).
Data is aggregated from EWG, CIR, CosIng and the SkinCarisma community, and improves over time. Spot something off? See our methodology. This is general information, not medical advice.
